44  /"VOME,  MAY,  come,  Nellie  ;  hurry  up.  Deacon  Fitney  will  be  here 
\^  directly  and  the  train  starts  directly." 

The  voice  was  that  of  Mr.  Trevellyan,  a  thoroughly  well-known  and 
highly  respected  stock  broker  of  the  City  of  Chicago.  Mr.  Trevellyan  was 
a  hard-working  man,  and  his  various  affairs  did  not  give  him  much  opportunity 
of  absenting  himself  fiom  his  business.  But  to-day  had  been  laid  out  as  a  holi 
day  for  the  babies,  and  papa  Trevellyan  had  made  up  his  mind  to  take  part  in  it. 

After  a  good  deal  of  family  discussion  [these  things  generally  involve  more 
or  less  of  that  sort  of  thing]  it  was  finally  decided  to  make  a  trip  to  Niagara 
Falls  and  back.  So  a  party  was  made  up  which  was  to  consist  of  Mr.  and  Mrs. 
Trevellyan,  the  two  children  and  a  good-hearted  Deacon  Fitney,  who  was 
well  acquainted  with  the  way  to  "do  "  the  Falls  properly. 

The  day  was,  as  I  have  just  said,  a  bright  one,  even  for  the  month  of  June, 
and  both  May  and  Nellie,  in  anticipation  of  a  pleasant  time,  were  not  long  in 
putting  on  their'  things  and  repairing  to  the  parlor. 

It  was  well  they  hurried.  There  was  papa,  valise  in  hand,  ready  to  start ; 
mamma,  too,  and  nothing  seemed  to  be  wanting  but  the  presence  of  Deacon 
Fitney,  who  had  gone  off  to  secure  the  railway  tickets,  and  who  promised  to 
return  at  once  with  a  carriage  and  accompany  the  whole  party  to  the  train. 
The  Deacon  was  not  long  in  coming  back.  He  was  a  good  man  in  his  way,  was 
the  Deacon.  He  had  only  one  fault — he  was  unreasonably  fond  of  Buttons  ! 


A   TRIP  TO  NIAGARA  FALLS. 

He  adorned  his  apparel  with  more  buttons  than  even  the  law  requires,  and  he 
wore  a  nice  gold  headed  button  on  his  neatly  tied  satin  scarf.  Nobody  could 
ever  find  out  what  prompted  this  peculiarity,  but  then  nobody  seemed  to  care 
very  much.  However,  as  I  said  before,  the  Deacon  came  back  very  quickly  and 
helped  get  things  in  the  carriage. 

"  By  the  way,  Deacon,"  said  Mr.  Trevellyan,  "what  time  do  we  start  and 
which  way  do  we  go  ?  You  know  I  have  left  everything  of  that  kind  to  you." 

"  Four-thirty,"  said  the  Deacon,  in  a  cheerful  sort  of  way,  "  and  by  the 
Michigan  Central  Railroad.  It  is  the  only  way  to  go.  But  never  mind  about 
the  advantages  to  be  gained  by  going  over  this  remarkable  route.  I  will  tell 
you  all  about  it  when  we  get  on  the  train." 

And  so  they  bundled  into  the  carriage,  and  within  a  few  minutes  the  entire 
party  was  seated  in  one  of  the  magnificent  palace  cars  which  are  attached  to  the 
Michigan  Central  Limited  Express. 

"  All  aboard  !  "  shouted  the  conductor.  "We  're  off,"  smiled  the  Deacon. 
The  big  clock  in  the  depot  struck  the  half  after  four,  and  the  magnificent  train 
composed  of  five  sleepers,  three  coaches,  a  palace  dining  car  and  a  couple  of 
baggage  cars,  slowly  pulled  out  of  the  station. 

May  and  Nellie  glued  their  noses  to  the  window,  and  their  delight  as  they 
whizzed  through  the  beautiful  suburbs  of  South  Chicago,  seemed  unbounded. 
With  Lake  Michigan,  tranquil*  and  glittering  with  the  rays  of  a  summer  sun,  on 
one  side,  and  a  succession  of  lovely  suburban  residences  on  the  other,  the 
sight  was  a  most  lovely  one.  A  few  minutes  later  the  train  was  flying  through 
green  fields  and  beautiful  woods. 

"  Here,  children,"  suddenly  cried  the  Deacon  from  the  other  side  of  the 
car,  "come  quick  and  see  the  magic  city  of  Pullman."  In  a  minute  May  was  on 


A   TRIP  TO  NIAGARA  FALLS. 

one  of  the  Deacon's  knees  and  Nellie  on  the  other,  and  the  train  passed  rapidly 
by  the  most  wonderful  evidence  of  modern  enterprise. 

"  Three  years  ago,"  said  the  Deacon,  in  answer  to  an  enquiring  look  of 
admiration  in  the  children's  eyes,  "  the  ground  on  which  stands  this  most  beau 
tiful  city,  which  is  without  doubt  the  model  city  of  the  world,  was  nothing  but  a 
swamp.  See  what  it  is  now.  Some  day,  when  we  get  back  home,  I  will  bring 
you  here  and  let  you  learn  more  closely  what  the  creator  of  the  beautiful  place 
which  bears  the  name  of  Pullman  has  done  for  his  country." 

A  minute  later  the  train  flew  past  Kensington,  and  then  fairly  started  on  its 
iron  way  for  its  first  stopping  place,  Michigan  City,  better  known  as  the  City  of 
Sand.  Then  came  Niles,  with  its  wonderful  bridge  and  its  fairy  valley.  Then 
Kalamazoo,  the  biggest  village  in  the  world,  and  the  flower  bed  of  creation. 
Then  Marshall,  Battle  Creek  and  Jackson,  the  latter  place  the  centre  of  railway 
industry  of  the  beautiful  State  of  Michigan.  Then  Ann  Arbor,  where  is  situated 
the  University  of  the  State  of  Michigan,  and  then,  last,  but  not  least,  Detroit. 

By  this  time,  of  course,  the  babies  had  been  tucked  in  bed.  The  Deacon 
had  taken  them  into  the  dining  car  and  feasted  them  with  all  the  inexhaustible 
luxuries  for  which  these  cars  on  the  Michigan  Central  R.  R.  are  so  famous. 

Then  the  colored  porter  having  made  up  their  beds  they  were  soon  fast 

asleep  and  dreaming  of  the  treat  in  store  for  the  morrow. 

i 
The   Deacon,  however,  was  determined  at  least  that  his  grown-up  friends 

should  lose  none  of  the  beauties  of  the  trip,  and  so  he  insisted  that  Mr.  and  Mrs. 
Trevellyan  should  remain  up  until  they  had  crossed  the  famous  Detroit  River. 
The  night  was  a  beautiful  one,  and  they  were  amply  rewarded  by  witnessing  one 
of  the  most  thoroughly  picturesque  pieces  of  scenery  in  the  world.  The  entire 
train  was  placed  on  one  of  the  immense  ferry  steamers,  and  the  landing  shortly 


A   TRIP  TO  NIAGARA  FALLS. 

afterwards  made  at  Windsor,  a  picturesque  and  quaint  little  town  on  the  Canadian 
side  of  the  river.  At  this  point  commences  the  Canada  Southern  Division  of  the 
Michigan  Central  Railroad,  famous  alike  for  the  magnificence  of  its  equipment 
and  smoothness  of  track.  Here  our  friends,  so  to  speak,  turned  in,  and  it  was 
only  a  few  minutes  before  every  one  on  board  was  fast  asleep. 

The  next  thing  was  the  morning  sun  and  Niagara  Falls.  The  run  had  been 
made  from  Chicago  in  the  remarkable  time  of  fifteen  hours. 

"Oh,  how  good  of  you,  Deacon  Fitney,"  said  little  May  a  short  while  later, 

as  standing  on  a  verandah  of  Joe House,  she  gazed  with  rapture   at   the 

Falls  in  all  their  splendor  ;  "  how  good  of  you  to  bring  us  to  such  a.  nice  place 
and  by  such  a  delightful  road." 

"  I  am  glad  you  like  it,"  said  the  Deacon,  with  a  smile  ;  "  but  you  must 
not  credit  me  with  too  much  goodness,  for  I  could  hardly  have  brought  you  by 
any  other  way.  The  Michigan  Central  road  is  the  only  direct  road  running  to 
the  Falls,  and  you  could  hardly  expect  that  I  could  take  you  there  by  any  line 
which  is  not  entirely  the  best." 

Mr.  and  Mrs.  Trevellyan  heartily  joined  May  in  her  expressions  of  thanks 
to  the  Deacon,  and  more  than  endorsed  every  word  he  had  said  in  praise  of  the 
wonderful  Michigan  Central  Limited  Express. 

They  spent  the  day  at  the  Falls — a  day  of  merry  sunshine  and  happiness. 
The  Falls  never  looked  grander  and  nature  never  smiled  with  more  sweetness. 
The  time  passed  only  too  quickly,  and  when  the  children  stepped  on  the  cars 
once  more  to  return  to  Chicago  it  was  with  a  twinge  of  regret  which  was  only 
offset  by  the  knowledge  that  they  had  another  delightful  trip  in  store  for  them 
on  the  Michigan  Central  Road. 

Now  May  ha*  the  following  time  table  hung  up  among  her  pictures  on  the 


A   TRIP  TO  NIAGARA  FALLS, 

wall  in  her  bed  room.     She  says  it  serves  to  remind  her  of  one  of  the  happiest 
days  of  her  life.     Above  it,  in  a  baby's  handwriting,  she  has  scrawled  :

NOTE. — No  extra  charge  is  made  on  Michigan  Central  Fast 
Express. 

May's  advice  is  very  excellent.  She  says  the  Michigan  Central  is  the  best 
road  in  the  United  States  and  she  knows  what  she  is  talking  about.

Respectfully  dedicated  to  the  Conductors  of  the  Chicago  6°  Alton  Railroad.] 

(Bv  D.  DALZIEL,  EDITOR  OF  THE  'CHICAGO   NEWS  LETTER.) 

SCENE — The  Exterior  of  a  Railroad  Depot. 

(Enter  ANGELA,  ELLA  and  SAPHIR,  and  a  number  of  cesthetic  young  women.) 

Tf  NGELA — There  is  a  strange  magic  in  this  love  of  ours.     Rivals,  as  we  all 
r\. 

are,  in  the  affections  of  our  Reginald,  the  very  hopelessness  of  our  love  is 

a  bond  that  binds  us  to  one  another.     (All  sigh?) 

TANK — Fools,  yes,  fools.    Know  ye  not  that  this  man  never  can  be  yours  ?    He 

loves  another,  and  that  other  is  PATIENCE.     {General  misery?) 
7T  NGELA — Patience,  the  young  woman  who  milks  the  cow  and  sleeps  in  the 

stable  !     Surely  the  gentleman's  taste  must  be  a  trifle  unaesthetic. 
TANK — You  must  not  question  his  motive.     He  is  utterly  transcendant  in  all 

he  does.     But  the  milkmaid,  as  you  say,  is  indeed  a  little  beneath  the  regard 
of  one  so  truly  too. 
9Y  LL — Indeed  she  is.       They  all  sigh. 

PATIENCE — (Appears  at   background  and  looks  with   contempt  upon  the  lot. 

She  then  comes  down.)     What  is  the  matter,  girls,  are  you  ill  ? 
7T  LL — No,  we  are  in  love.     (More  misery?) 

"OATIENCE — I  know  not  what  love  is. 

7T  NGELA — Ah,  Patience,  if  you  have  never  loved  you  have  never  known  true 
happiness.      All  sigh?]

A  PARODY  ON  PATIENCE. 

pATIENCE  —  But  the  truly  happy  seem  to  have  so  much  on  their  mind.     The 
truly  happy  never  seem  quite  well.     But  I  have  some  news  for  you.     The 
Railroad  Conductors'  Annual  Picnic  will  be  held  here  to-day,  and  the  young  men 
in  their  gorgeous  uniforms  are  now  on  their  way  to  this  spot. 
7TNGELA  —  Contemptuously.       Railroad  conductors! 

Q  APHIR  —  I  am  told  they  are  men  of  very  full  habits. 
/7LLA  —  We  care  nothing  for  railroad  conductors. 

(Exit  the  ladies  in  sorrowful  procession.     Enter  the  railroad  conductors.      They 

march  round  to  chorus. 

The  conductors  of  our  land  are  linked  in  friendly  tether, 
Upon  the  railroad  train  they  make  their  friends  together; 
There  every  mother's  son  prepared  to  make  a  friend  is. 
The  comrade  of  one,  The  comrade  of  all  is, 
The  comrade  of  one,  The  comrade  of  all  is. 

Enter  the  Grand  Commander  of  the  Order  of  Conductors,  COLONEL  BLUE,  of  the 

Chicago  &  Alton  Railroad.} 


When  I  first  put  this  uniform  on 

I  said  as  I  looked  in  the  glass, 

It's  one  to  a  million,  that  any  civilian 

My  figure  and  form  will  surpass. 

Gold  lace  has  a  charm  for  the  fair, 

And  I've  plenty  of  that,  and  to  spare. 

While  a  lover's  professions, 

When  uttered  on  Hessians 

Are  eloquent  ev'ry  where; 

A  fact  that  I  counted  upon 

When  I  first  put  this  uniform  on.

I  said  when  I  first  put  it  on. 
It's  plain  to  the  veriest  dunce, 
That  every  beauty 
Will  feel  it  her  duty 
To  yield  to  the  Alton  at  once. 
They  will  see  that  I'm  freely  gold  laced, 
In  a  uniform  handsome  and  chaste, 

And  a  gentleman  connected  with  the  Chicago  and  Alton 
Should  be  very  much  to  their  taste; 
A  fact  that  I  counted  upon 
When  I  first  put  this  uniform  on. 

CHORUS. 

By  a  simple  coincidence,  few 
Could  ever  have  reckoned  upon, 
The  same  thing  occurred  to  us,  too, 
When  we  first  put  this  uniform  on. 

(Enter  PATIENCE.) 

pATIENCE  —  How  strangely  handsome  these  conductors  are,  but  I  dare  not 
address  them. 

.  —  Fair  maiden,  you  seem  alarmed  at  our  intrusion. 


PATIENCE  —  Not  at  all.     Only  awed.      I  am  not  accustomed  to   so  much 

glitter. 
r\    {7.  —  (Proudly.)     You  flatter,  fair  maid,  but  we  are  accustomed  to  it.     We 

are  conductors.     That  speaks  for  our  brilliant  appearance. 
PATIENCE  —  And  what  is  a  conductor? 

/"\    fl  .  —  Do  you  mean  it  ?    Listen  and  I  will  give  you  the  recipe  for  a  first-class 
Chicago  and  Alton  conductor.     (Sings.} 
If  you  want  a  recipe  for  that  popular  mystery 

Usually  known  as  an  Alton  road  man, 

Take  all  the  remarkable  people  in  history, 

Mix  them  all  up  in  rhyming  stewpan; 


A  PAROD  Y  ON  PA  TIENCE. 

The  pluck  of  a  brakeman  on  board  of  a  freight  train, 

Genius  of  agents  devising  a  plan, 
The  humor  of  Jay  Gould  (when  in  a  cut  rate  vein), 

Coolness  of  Vanderbilt  leading  the  clan; 
The  science  of  Howgate,  the  eminent  Arctico  ; 

Wit  of  Abe  Lincoln,  good  Illinois  man  ; 
Pathos  of  Paddy,  just  out  on  a  lark  to  go  ; 

Style  of  the  Bishop  of  Saskatchewan; 
The  dash  of  a  D'Orsay  divested  of  quackery, 

Narrative  powers  of  Dickens  and  Thackeray. 
Victor  Emmanuel,  peak -hunting  Peveril, 

Thomas  A-qui-nas  and  Doctor  Sa-che-verell, 
Tupper  and  Tennyson,  Daniel  De-Foe, 

Anthony  Trollope  and  Mister  Guizot. 

Take  of  these  elements  all  that  is  fusible, 
Melt  'em  all  down  in  a  pipkin  or  crucible, 
Set  'em  to  simmer  and  take  off  the  scum, 
And  an  Alton  conducter  is  the  re-si-du-um. 

If  you  want  a  receipt  for  this  railroad  like  Paragon, 

Get  at  the  wealth  of  Jim  Fair  (if  you  can)  ; 
The  family  pride  of  a  Blue  Blood  from  Lexington, 

Force  of  Mephisto  pronouncing  a  ban, 
A  smack  of  young  Lorillard,  reckless  and  rollicky, 

Swagger  of  Kearney  leading  his  gang, 
The  keen  penetration  of  Paddington  Pollaky  ; 

Grace  of  an  odalisque  on  a  divan; 
The  essence  delightful  of  utter  civility, 
Graceful  and  pleasant  lacking  servility; 
Flavor  of  Hamlet;  Charles  Surface,  a  touch  of  him  ; 
Little  of  Romeo,  but  not  very  much  of  him, — 
Beautiful  dressed,  all  buttons  and  lace, 
Air  of  a  nobleman,  exquisite  face.

PATIENCE — No,  although  I  have  seen  people  dressed  like  you  before,     I  do 

not  think  that  would  entitle  me  to  say  I  knew  you.

who  used  to  take  you  to  excursions  by  the  Chicago  &  Alton  to  St.  Louis  ? 
pATIENCE — Can  it  be — why,  yes,  it  must  be  Archibald.    I  am  glad  to  see  you. 

The  remembrance  of  those  visits  to  St.  Louis  is  still  fresh  in  my  memory. 


A  PAROD  Y  ON  PA  TJENCE. 

So  fresh  that  it  is  not  at  all  necessary  for  me  to  go  there  again  to  renew  them. 
But  you  are  changed. 

/"^ROSVENOR  —  I  am  somewhat  taller  than  when  I  first  knew  you;  remember 
that  it  is  nigh  on  to  thir-r-ty  years  since  first  we  met  by  the  village  stream. 
Ah,  Patience,  the  time  has  passed  lightly  enough  on  me,  but  with  you  it  is  very 
different. 
pATIENCE  —  And  how  handsome  you  look. 

PROSVENOR  —  You  are  quite  right,  Patience  (drawing  himself  up}.     I  am  a

PATIENCE  —  And  that  uniform,  Archibald  ! 

—  Sighs]  Ah,  that  is  the  bane  of  my  life.     It  has  the  curse  of 


va 

fatal  perfection.     Since  I  first  put   it  on  I  dare  not   go  through   the  cars  and 
collect  tickets  without  an  escort.     All  the  women  I  meet  fall  madly  in  love  with 
me.     At  the  country  depot  when  my  train  goes  through,  the  entire  female  popu 
lation  flock  out  to  get  a  glimpse  at  me.     The  life  is  one  of  torment. 
pATIENCE  —  Then  why  do  you  not  cast  it  away  from  you,  and  make  yourself 

a  commonplace  person  like  the  conductors  of  other  roads  ? 
/"^ROSVENOR  —  No,  Patience,  that  would  be  wrong.     I  have  a  mission  in  life. 

If  it  be  my  fortune  to  be  the  handsomest  conductor  on  the  finest  railroad  in 
the  World,  who  am  I  that  I  should  withhold  the  contemplation  of  my  gifts  from

and  the  travelling  public  will   know  you  no  more.     That  would  be  selfish,  and

is  denied  me  while  all  others  that  I. do  not  love  are  showered  at  my  head. 
Perhaps  some  of  you  may  envy  my  condition.  If  you  do,  follow  this  little  bit  of 
advice  and  you  may  soon  find  youself  as  burdened  with  love  as  I  am.  (Sings?) 
If  you're  anxious  for  to  shine  in  the  highest  railroad  line  as  a  man  of  genius  rare, 
You  must  get  up  all  the  germs  of  the  grandest  railroad  terms  and  plant  them 

everywhere  ; 
You  must  smile  at  all  the  ladies,  and  be  good  to  all  the  babies  in  a  manner  that 

is  most  kind  ; 
It  really  doesn't  matter  how  much  they  cry  and  chatter  or  if  they  talk  you  deaf 

and  blind. 

And  everyone  will  say 
As  you  walk  your  cheerful  way, 
If  this  young  man  behaves  himself  in  the  manner  that  we  see, 

Why,  what  a  very  singularly  nice  young  man  this  Alton  man  must  be  !

An  old  man  sat  in  a  railroad  shop, 
And  all  around  was  a  loving  crop 
Of  runners  and  agents  with  smile  sublime, 
Working  that  man  for  their  favorite  line. 
But  for  agents  the  old  man  felt  no  whim; 
Tho'  he  charmed  them  they  charmed  not  him; 
From  agents  and  runners  and  smiles  he  strode, 
For  he'd  set  his  love  on  the  Alton  Road. 

The  Alton  Road, 

The  Alton  Road. 
Their  most  aesthetic,  peripatetic 
Fancies  this  way  ran: 
If  others  we  wheedle,  why,  we  indeed'll 
Wheedle  this  queer  old  man.

The  runners  and  agents  expressed  surprise  ; 
The  conductors  opened  their  well-drilled  eyes. 
The  runners,  they  felt  shut  up,  no  doubt, 
And  the  agents  they  found  themselves  cut  out. 
But  the  queer  old  man  was  as  solid  as  stone, 
"  It's  the  Alton  Road  that  takes  me  home  " 
That's  what  he  cried,  that  queer  old  boy. 
"And  it's  the  only  road  that  gives  me  joy."

P.   {7.1  will  have  you  expelled  from  our  order,  I   will  have  you  blackballed

Oh,  Archibald,  is  it  you  ?    Can  it  be  that  you  are  indeed  a  common  person

CHICAGO  AND  NEW  YORK. 


The  two  cities  above  named  are  the  great  commercial  centers  of  the 
United  States,  the  former  containing  in  the  vicinity  of  650,000  inhabitants, 
and  the  latter  about  1,500,000.  The  number  of  people  actually  in  Chicago 
at  any  one  time  would  doubtless  range  far  above  these  figures,  as  its  floating 
or  transient  population  is  enormous,  running  up  into  figures  that  can  hardly 
be  credited.  The  traffic  passing  between  these  two  cities  daily  is  very  large 
when  one  considers  that  they  are  within  a  fraction  of  1,000  miles  apart. 
Boston  also  has  a  large  traffic  with  Chicago,  and  to  give  an  idea  of  the 
accommodations  necessary  to  provide  for  the  passenger  business  alone 
between  the  three  cities,  we  may  state  that  the 


which  is  the  principal  thoroughfare  between  the  cities  named,  runs  five 
express  trains  daily — three  on  Sundays — made  up  of  fine  new  day  coaches, 
smoking  cars,  drawing-room  cars,  palatial  sleeping  cars. 

The  Michigan  Central  Railroad  has  always  held  a  foremost  place 
amongst  the  lines  between  Chicago  and  the  Atlantic  sea-board,  and  the 
latest  addition  to  their  accommodations  in  the  shape  of  four  new  Dining 
Cars  will  greatly  strengthen  its  position. 

These  new  cars  are  incomparable  for  beauty  of  design  and  selectness 
of  adornments,  all  the  elegancies  of  art  having  been  exhausted  to  produce 
the  most  desirable  effect.  That  the  end  has  been  gained,  goes  without 
saying,  and  they  stand  to-day  as  far  in  advance  of  other  Dining  Cars  as  the 
first  Dining  Cars  were  in  advance  of  the  lunch  counters  at  wayside  stations. 

The  cuisine  is  quite  on  a  par  with  the  finish  of  the  cars,  and  all  that 
may  minister  to  the  nourishment  of  the  body,  or  tickle  the  palate  of  the 
most  discriminating  epicures,  will  be  found  therein. 

Other  great  features  of  the  Michigan  Central  Railroad  are  that  its 
through  trains  for  New  York  and  Boston  run  out  of  Chicago  along  the 
Michigan  Lake  front  within  a  stone's  throw  of  the  city's  costliest  mansions, 
through  South  Park  and  the  magic  city  of  Pullman,  affording  an  extensive 
survey  of  this  marvel  of  a  marvelous  age,  and  later  passing  in  full  view  of 
Niagara  Falls.  It  is  for  this  latter  reason  known  to  all  travelers  as  "The 
Niagara  Falls  Route."

For  more  than  twenty  years  this  paint  has  been  in  general  use  by  master  mechanics,  master  car  build 
ers  and  chief  engineers  upon  the  principal  railroads  in  this  country,  who  have  pronounced  \tsuperiorto 
any  paint  they  have  ever  used,  for  the  many  purposes  to  which  it  has  been  applied,  viz. :  For  painting 
car  roofs,  the  upper  face  and  outside  of  car  sills,  the  mortise  and  tenon  when  building  or  repairing  cars,  the 
outside  of  locomotive  boilers  before  the  lag  is  put  on,  the  inside  of  locomotive  tanks  to  protect  the  iron  from 
rust,  the  inside  of  pits  of  tenders  to  protect  the  iron  from  the  injurious  effects  of  the  coal,  trucks,  icfii-i'ls. 
bridge  timbers,  turn  tables,  the  inside  of  station  water  tanks,  roofs  of  buildings,  etc.,  etc.  It  penetrates  wood, 
forming  a  body  in  the  same,  which  no  other  paint  does.  Is  impervious  to  water,  and  the  best  preserver  known. 

The  foundation  of  this  paint  is  creosote,  which  in  its  nature,  is  very  penetrating  and  the  best  known 
preserver.  It  is  mixed  ready  for  use,  and  one  gallon  of  this  paint  will  cover  twice  the  surface  of  any  other 
paint  in  use.  This  paint  is  very  extensively  used  for  painting  ressel  hulls.

PATIENCE 


When  possible,  is,  undoubtedly,  a  gem  equal  in  value,  in  some  respects,  to  the  "  pearl  of 
great  price."  It  helped  Job  through  some  rough  experiences.  But  it  will  be  scarcely 
available  to  most  of  the  good  people  of  this  country  when  they  come  to  know  of  the  Royal 
Arch  grandeurs  awaiting  their  enjoyment  at  the  charming  Summer  Resorts  in  Wisconsin, 
Minnesota  and  Iowa,  where  they  are  as  thick  as  diamonds  in  Golconda  all  along  the  lines 
of  that  Great  Bonanza  Railway,  whose  other  name  is 

CHICAGO,   MILWAUKEE  &  ST.  PAUL, 

unless  they  can  get  at  them  "right  away  quick. "      Then  they  cannot  control  their 

IMPATIENCE     . 

to  at  once  view  those  delightful  spots, — 

"  Where  breezes  baffle  heat ; 
Where  shaded  dells  and  mossy  coverts  be; 
Where  giant  trees  to  heaven  raise  their  heads; 
Where  earth  is  free,  and  nature  unconfined 

Fills  the  soul  with  reverence." 


Then 

Conceive  me  if  you  can 
In  a  fairy  summer  land, 

Where  weary  bones  find  rest 

In  loose  and  careless  dress, 
A  jolly,  contented  old  man. 

\ 

In  plain  prose:  Those  who  wish  to  be  enlightened  as  to  matters  so  imminently  con 
cerning  their  welfare,  can  be  so  far  gratified,  by  applying  (before  the  edition  is  exhausted)  to

TOOTLE'S  OPEKA  HOUSE,  ST.  JOSEPH,  MO. 

The  reputation  this  theater  has  made  for  itself,  and  the  fact  that  it  is  known  as  the  pioneer  Opera  House  in  the  West,  render 
it  unnecessary  to  offer  any  extended  description.  While  theaters  have  been  erected,  calculated  to  surpass  in  beauty  and  costli 
ness  Tootle's  Opera  House,  few,  to-day,  can  legitimately  claim  equality,  and  none  can  surpass  it  in  all  that  pertains  to  the  arrange 
ment  of  a  first-class  place  of  amusement.  The  stage  is  40X67,  with  an  opening  34x35,  and  is  furnished  with  a  full  complement 
of  scenery.  Recently  the  house  has  been  thoroughly  renovated,  repainted  inside  and  outside,  and  recarpeted;  a  new  drop  curtain 
hung,  and  the  apparatus  for  lighting  the  gas  by  electricity  placed  in  the  building;  a  new  steam  heating  apparatus  and  trie  water 
works  connection  are  also  among  the  improvements;  capacity  1,500.  Tootle's  Opera  House  is  located  in  the  very  center  of  a  city 
of  45.000  inhabitants. 

G-RAND  OPERA  HOUSE,  TOPEKA,  KAS. 

Formerly  known  as  The  Topeka  Opera  House,  but.  to  avoid  a  conflict  of  titles,  name  changed  to  that  of  GRAND  OPEKA  HOUSE. 

The  house  was  built  by  a  stock  company;  300  residents  financially  interested;  cost  $00,000;  capacity  1,500;  stage  is  60x67 
feet;  the  proscenium  opening  is  35  •  38  feet;  eight  large  dressing  rooms;  full  complement  of  scenery ;  only  ground  floor  Opera 
House  in  the  city;  can  be  emptied  in  one  minute  and  a  half;  absolute  safety  guaranteed  the  patrons  of  the  Grand;  Topeka  is  the 
capital  of  the  State,  and  the  principal  city,  commercially  and  politically;  constantly  thronged  with  strangers;  resident  population 
about  27,000.  Messrs.  Wood  &  I  pdegraff  are  the  local  managers,  but  all  communications  should  be  addressed  to  Mr.  Craig,  at 
St.  Joseph,  Mo. 

THE  G-ILLIS  OPERA  HOUSE,  KANSAS  CITY,  MO. 

This  elegant  theater,  rapidly  approaching  completion,  is  being  erected  under  the  provisions  of  a  will  which  requires  that  the 
net  earnings  of  the  house  shall  be  applied  to  the  maintenance  of  a  permanent  home  for  destitute  children,  and  will  be  opened  early 
in  September,  1883.  When  completed,  the  Gillis  Opera  House  will  have  cost  $100,000.  It  is  centrally  located,  being  within  four 
blocks  of  twelve  hotels.  Nearly  every  street-car  line  in  the  city  passes  its  doors,  either  on  Fifth  or  Walnut  streets.  It  is  there 
fore  evident  that  the  Gillis  has  a  decided  advantage  of  location  for  the  resident  as  well  as  the  transient  population.  All  appoint 
ments  of  auditorium  first-class;  means  of  exit  ample  — three  entrances  on  ground  floor,  and  two  spacious  staircases,  each  20  ft. 
wide.  The  stage  of  the  Gillis  is  one  of  the  largest  in  the  country,  42x124  ft. ;  height  of  scenery  28  ft. ;  height  above  scenery  32  ft. ; 
proscenium  opening  37x46  ft. ;  seventeen  dressing  rooms,  green  room,  reception  room  and  music  room.  First-class  attractions 
(•an  safely  book  a  week  at  the  Gillis,  and  none  other  need  apply;  109  nights  already  booked.  Population  upwards  of  100,000.

GENTS:    We  have  a  little  story  to  tell  in  regard  to  the  running  of  one  of  your  adjusted 

movements  on  the  Boston  and  Maine  R.  R.  We  sold  it  and  regulated  it  a  short  time  before  the  engineer  put  it  in  his  pocket, 
the  9th  of  last  April,  and  ran  it  upon  Cambridge  time  for  ten  months,  and  the  total  variation  was  only  24  seconds,  and  then 
he  neglected  to  wind  it  up.  Variation  was  less  than  3  seconds  when  it  ran  down.  He  ran  from  Dover  to  Portland,  105 
mill's  a  day.  Yours  truly,
